Elk Creek Overflow Campground
Antonito, Colorado · Private campground · books through the park office, directly.
Elk Creek Overflow Campground is a privately run RV park near Antonito, Colorado. It sits about 195 miles southwest of downtown Denver as the crow flies, with Antonito as the nearest supply town on our board.
Campers rate it 4.5 of 5 across 29 reviews on RVParks.us, our sister directory, where the photo sets and firsthand reports live.
This is a proper haul: the route runs out the US-285 corridor through the Platte River country, and the smart play is treating the drive as day one of the trip. Fuel and grocery stops get thinner the farther you get from the metro, so leave stocked, watch afternoon weather over the high ground, and arrive with daylight to spare.
It sits near 8,694 feet, high enough that summer nights drop hard after sunset. Shoulder season here is gorgeous and lightly booked; just confirm the operating dates before a spring or fall trip.
Full hookups are the default at private parks like this one, which is exactly why big rigs and long stays favor them. Expect power, water and sewer at the site, and ask about pull-through pads if backing a trailer isn't your favorite spectator sport. Wifi and laundry usually make the amenity list too.
Booking a Site Here
Book straight with the park. Private parks hold inventory later than the reservation sites, keep longer seasons, and a phone call often finds a weekend pull-through the internet swears is gone. Expect full hookups as the default and ask about long-rig sites if you're bringing anything over 35 feet.
Pairing It With a Camper
From Denver, treat this one as a proper road trip leg. Most renters pick the camper up in the metro and make the drive part of the trip; long-haul delivery can be quoted with lead time. Reserve the site in your own name first, then match the rig to the pad length and hookups. Our camper listings state length, tanks and power draw plainly, and we answer campground fit questions all day.

What Campers Say
★★★★★Very nice FS campground with large sites and good separation. Gravel roads and spires all fairly level. Elk Creek is adjacent to the campground. Campground host Keith and Linda did an excellent job of maintaining the place.
★★★★★Great campground right on a beautiful clear river with mountainous backdrops. I would totally recommend this campsite to anyone looking to be off grid and off the beaten path. Be aware that there is absolutely no signal with AT&T, Verison, or TMobile, so be prepared.
★★★★★The sisters were wonderful. The campground is beautiful and well taken care of. We'll all be back. It's so close.
